GROUTING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Grouting material provided with mosaic brick kit
1. Moisten brick surface with damp sponge or spray bottle just prior
to application. When bricks are wet, any excess grout mixture
on bricks will easily wipe off.
2. In a heavy duty mixing bucket, add equal parts cement and sand.
Add enough water and mix together well using a power drill with
mixing wand attachment to a yogurt like consistency. Not adding
enough water can lead to grout falling out after burning.
3. The overall length of piping bag should be about 16". If the bag is
longer than 16", cut it down to size by removing end with larger
opening. This will make the bag easier to handle.
4. Put grout mixture into piping bag making sure the smaller
opening is downward and over a moist towel to avoid spilling.
Place a wet towel over the bucket making sure it is directly on
the surface of grout mixture. This will keep the mixture moist
and it will not dry out before use.
5. Grout all joints where two firebrick walls come together.
6. Using a trowel, remove excess grout mixture by moving trowel
in the direction of the joint. Grout mixture in the joint should now
be flush with brick surface. If not enough grout is applied into
each space, grout may fall out after burning.
7. Using a joint striker, smooth out grout line. Allow 72 hours
before operating fireplace.
